Everton have reportedly set their sights on Napoli’s Hirving Lozano after his slow start to the season.

This is according to the Mexican edition of , via .

Everton are overall fairly well stocked in terms of wingers and forward

However, the Toffees certainly could do with bolstering their right flank.

Marca believes that Everton are indeed looking for reinforcements

And Lozano – who can play across the front line – in apparently their sights.

The outlet claims Lozano could soon find himself on the move, having endured a frustrating start to the campaign.

The 27-year-old has been in and out of the starting XI this term.

This has led to speculation over his future, with Bayern Munich apparently eyeing his services.

Lozano’s current situation has ‘generated’ interest all over Europe, though.

Apparently, there is a group of clubs that are ‘looking at him’, including Everton.

Will Everton finally sign player who was on Ancelotti radar?

Lozano has long been linked with a move to Goodison Park.

He was consistently named as a target during Carlo Ancelotti’s time in charge of Everton.

Marca claims Napoli now value Lozano – a player who has been – at €30m (around £27m).

It remains to be seen whether Everton would be willing to spend that amount of money on him.

As per Sport Witness, the Toffees appear more likely to look at younger, cheaper players who can be developed than an established player like Lozano.

However, if there’s a chance of a bargain it may change their thinking, concluded the report.
